The More Difficult The Retailers Are Today, The More Messi Stores Will Close The Two Stores In Seattle.

On January 15th, Messi Redmond spokesman Jordan confirmed that the company will close its department store in the first quarter of this year, and plan to close the store of Justine Northgate in 2020 in the Redmond Town Center.

From mid January to early March, Messi's department store will be cleared for sale.

Jordan said in an email, "closing the store is a tough decision, but Messi is happy to serve the Redmond community for more than 16 years, and has served the Seattle community for more than 70 years."

He said that at present, Messi stores have informed two stores of employees, inform them of the company's plan.

The company will pay compensation for those who are not able to settle down to other Messi department stores nearby.

The closure of Messi department store in the north gate mall also has a huge impact on the shopping mall.

The North Gate Shopping Centre was built in 1950. Last October, the J.C.Penny store of the mall also announced that it would close this year.

Simon Property Group, the owner of the north gate mall, plans to carry out a massive re construction after the closure of Messi's department store in Simon.

Most of the retail functions will remain in the projects that are still under review, but will also increase housing, office areas and training centers for the Seattle National Hockey League.

The closure of both stores reflects the difficulty of retailers today, and more and more consumers have chosen Internet platforms such as Amazon.

Affected by this, Macy's 165 year old department store has been shrinking since 2016, announcing that it will close 100 stores and invest in online shopping platforms and mobile mobile terminal sales platforms.

Messi's department store is located in downtown Seattle, the Messi building is the landmark of downtown Seattle. Last year, the shop also reduced to several floors.

All the other floors in Messi's department store are rented to Amazon Co as offices.
